Teishoku is served with steamed rice, miso soup, pickles and vegetable side. Everything in the set dishes was good. Pork was juicy and lightly marinated. The vegetable side was seaweed that accompanied nicely with the rice. ----- Onigiri & Miso Soup Set: two lightly seasoned sticky rice balls with your choice of fillings (£7.80). Add side of pickles and vegetables for £2.20. Filling choices were avocado, umeboshi, gohan desu yo, teriyaki mayo chicken, tuna mayo, smoked salmon. My brother picked tuna mayo and umeboshi. I tried a bite of the umeboshi unigiri. The rice was fresh and the pickled plum was extremely sour as expected. ----- Matcha Latte: frothy steamed milk whisked into matcha (£4.55). The quality of matcha was decent, although the drink itself was incomparable to the gyokuro that had such a refined taste. ----- Gyokuro: full bodied umami flavor (£4.85). A green tea with quite the peculiar flavor. It does require extra brewing time. ----- Make sure to book in advance. A couple that walked in after we were seated for our 12 PM Saturday reservation were told that the restaurant was fully booked until 2 PM. Seating in the outdoor garden was available, but it was too sunny and hot. Guest Wi-Fi is available.

I was glad I did!! I went in around noon, quickly got sat down and given a menu, and then the problem was choosing what to have. I went for the teriyaki chicken meal set and it was quick to arrive. For a drink I just went with a Japanese green tea. The meal set was quick to come and it had a plate of teriyaki chicken, a bowl of white rice, and a bowl of miso soup. I loved all of it. I read up on the correct way to have it all, picked up my chopsticks and went to town. I was a little nervous for the miso soup as I've had one before and didn't like it but this one was amazing. The chicken was perfectly cooked and full of flavour, the rice shot, fluffy, and hot. I definitely will go back here as there was more I wanted to try. The ambiance was amazing, I was in front of the kitchen so could see the chefs preparing the food, and all the different bottles of sake were around so I could look at those and pick one if I wanted some alcohol. I can't wait to return

I wasn't even sure where it was, and when I realised we were heading towards the Merrion Centre I was less inclined to jump aboard the Japanese food train. If looks were everything this place wouldn't be too busy. It looks kinda dingy from the outside, and whilst the inside has a certain charm about it, it's not the Ritz but doesn't profess itself to be so. Think of it as a Japanese eatery version of the local cafe. I was looking over the menu, contemplating what to order, and being particularly hungry, did my unusual thing of looking at starters. My friend just shook her all knowing head at me and pointed straight to the mains. Huh? Well what was cloudy became clear within about ten minutes, as my hearty noodle dish came, steaming and smelling divine, and flippin huge. Seriously, I was pleasantly surprised at this. Considering how quick our orders came, I was more than pleased to take in the taste and how fresh everything was. It didnt have that 'been stewing all day in a pot waiting to be warmed up and served' taste, nor did it have quick food microwaved crunchy in some places and soggy in parts texture either. Being a dork with coordination, but feeling self conscious at the people opting for the chop sticks, I was relieved when a fork was provided for me. There's a good hustle bustle vibe about Fuji Hiro's and whilst the staff are not rude, far from it, there's an efficient business like approach to providing awesome food to their hungry clients, even the ones who are yet to walk through the door. Easy on the budget, good in the belly.

Its billed as a Japanese restaurant, but they also do Thai and Vietnamese inspired food, so I'd probably call it pan-Asian. We arrived early friday evening and hadn't booked, but they quickly sat us down at a spare table and soon the table was set. The decor is minimalist in a good way - dark modern tables and chairs, clean lines and a lovely mural on the wall. It seats about 30 and when we were there it started to slowly fill up. Soon we had a bowl of crackers on the table and we ordered drinks. The menu is a bit complicated and only printed on plain paper, so they need to make a proper menu up. The food is divided into two sharing platters, tempura, skewers, and more substantial dishes. Me and my partner ordered the £25.00 platter which comes in stages and consists of a selection of their better known dishes. My brother ordered tempura and soon they arrived, all freshly cooked. The batter is light and crispy and the various fillings very fresh. We shared squid, prawns and vegetables. really, really nice. Next came our chicken skewers, small but tasty and with a lovely plum sauce and a small salad side. Then the chef kindly brought over a complimentary plate of king prawn kebabs, which were huge, and flavoursome. They hit the mark. Then our mains arrived. Our sushi platter was enormous. Five or six different varieties, probably 30 pieces in all. And you could tell they were made not long before - nothing like the stuff you get in supermarkets which are normally prepared 2 or 3 days in advance. These were fresh and unctious. My brother and his wife had a noodle dish and salmon with Thai rice respectively. All the way through our meal the attentive and chatty waitresses brought more green tea. Finally having paid our bill and just chatting the waitress offered us a portion of ice cream on the house. Evidently they are always trying out new things and wanted our opinion on some ice creams they had just made. We tried the green tea, and mango, but should have tried the chocolate and chilli as well. All in all a great addition to eating out in Grimsby. London food at Grimsby prices. Well worth a visit.
